Adam Gwilt, curator of the bronze age collections at the National Museum Wales in Cardiff said: "We are very grateful to Llanbadoc Community Council for their generosity in donating this hoard to the national collections.

"We would also like to thank Phil Smith for his reporting of the find and his support for the Portable Antiquities Scheme in Wales.

"This discovery, and the story that it tells, can now be shared with public audiences, now and for generations to come."
